Our B team played two very good friendlies over the weekend.Played St Kevins of Twomileborris from Tipperary on Friday night.This was there first team and from what i am told in work they would be challenegers for the league most seasons.Great performance with 18 togging out.Finished 1-1.
6 new signings started with 3 coming on.
Played Clonmel Celtic on Sunday morning winning 1-0.21 players togging out.
A team play Ballylanders from Limerick tommorrow evening in their first friendly of the season.
Anyone know who is the Corkman who is after joining Cahir in Tipperary?
Graham Keane ex of LeesideQuote:

Grattan 4 v 0 Blackstone.
Can you see now why it took me longer than normal to put it up!!!
I wasnt there, but we did ok. We had 11, with one of our keepers playing outfield for a bit and two injured guys having to put on boots. 8 players out injured at the moment, freaky!!
Not making excuses though. Grattan were good by all accounts.
The dressing rooms are very nice the lads said.
Oh yeah.........hometown ref.........easy knowing Littleman got him!!
result from last night
Leeside 9 - 0 Corkbeg
big match against Rockmount on sunday coming up!
Good to hear bout the dressing rooms, fair play. Good win by the gratts by all acounts.Quote:

We drew 1-1 with Leeds and beat Glenthorn 3-1 last weekend with 6 "first teamers" missing, they were missing a few as well I'd say. Playing Grattan B tomorrow and Rockmount Juniors Sunday.
Who you with d cross, good preseason so far!!!
Heard ye should have beat Mayfield Seniors last Saturday Kingcorner. I have a good buddy playing with Mayfield and he said ye deserved to beat them.Quote:

Hopefully we can get back up to premier A this year.Quote:

Park,your comments with regards to your club are refreshingly honest an most welcome,makes for a pleasent change to have someone be positive about their club without being obnoctious.
Dcross ,I thought our B side were to play Village Thursday.
Bella good point about miss matched victories.
Kingscorner,best of luck Sunday,give it a good go.
[QUOTE=pacman;1210548]We were annoyed that it took until last week to find out what league were in but at the end of the day we finished in the bottom 3 so have only ourselves {and a lack of knowledge of the diciplinary proceedures} to blame. Thought we might be involved in a playoff with Leeside B and Blackstone, to stay up. It might do us good to have another season( only one hopefully) in Div 1 and maybe try a few things we couldnt last yearQuote:

The Gratts an Kinsale an even Wilton are having a nice quiet pre season,enough said. Well wait an see what happens.
When did A&E become a hundred euro??????? 3 visits already.
Won 2-0 tonight against Bru in final tournament game. Still carrying 6 or 7 knocks, but, some new guys showing well.
Got a new manager called Olachico........................where is he...............off in Spain..............dont remember seeing that in the contract!!!!
Jason Forde back playing tonight after his 5 stitches over the eye. Played well again.
Our strikers are scoring - i hope Im not cursing them by saying i hope to see them on Golden Boot list.
Is the AUL manager advert just policy or genuine?
Horse I feel your pain with regards to the A an E charges.Shinks bust his head open at training a couple of weeks back an we got stung for the tun as well.We were there for 6 hours an not even a cup of tea,thats value for money ha.
The Aul job is exactly as it says on the paper lads,any interested parties can apply,the postion is their to be filled.
i agree with some of the comments here about pointles friendlies but sometimes it has to be done, the rockmount game will be a different match altogether and its a challenge that every club looks forward to.
with regard to the mayfield game, we were very happy with the performence from all the lads and our centre back got man of the match which was pleasing, the only downside was we missed about 3 or 4 good chances and we cant afford to do that when the season starts.
how are all the preperations going with the rest of ye?
" Got a new manager called Olachico........................where is he...............off in Spain..............dont remember seeing that in the contract!!!! "
Hey i´m on a scouting excercise!! And I actually have watched a spanish 3rd division side Eldense playing and training - the match against Hercules was bizarre- they substituted the whole team in the second half in one go!
As a new kid on the block ive been very interested to see latest a u l news.think wilton grattan and kinsale will fight out the premier.and kanturk .ballyvolane possibly castleview for premier a.spoke to a chap from ballyvolane and they have signed 6 new players and a new goalkeeper.colm forde returns after a stint with glenthorn.eric dunlea .from blarney street,paul o callaghan returns so do brendan nyhan laurence buckley and goal keeper dave ellis.mark o mahony up from there b team.think rebelhead is a member of their club.40 years in football is a long time.
we beat midleton 2-1 last night in the barry wall, either playing brooklodge or leeside b i think in the final
Welcome shetland! Where do your allegiances lie?? I will be watching Knockavilla with interest this year - think they could surprise a few people in the Premier
no aliegence really just a big au l fan and go to quiet a few games.saw knockavilla a few times last year and they were very well organised.last years manager gone though and lost a player to kinsale.I stand by my 3 teams and think glenthorn might struggle, the seem to have lost a lot of players.anyone think the decision to reduce the ist division to 2 sections was strange.both sections will take some winning.
For me its a good idea,there has never been enough pressure on the Prem A teams to perform at league level throughout the season.That will change now because the fear of relegation will heighten due to the increase in compition for the promotion spots in the 2 first divisions,you can see the 1 divisions getting stronger an the knockon effect from the eventual promoted teams to Prem A will improve that in time,its a good move for me an the Aul should be commended for it.
welcome on board shetland. can't see ballyvolane doing much in prem a this year, they still don't have enough quality in the team. the premier a will be a tough division to win aswell this year so will be good competition and experience for who ever goes up to the premier next year.Quote:

i see the first and second round of fixtures up on aul site today. pick of games without a doubt has to be leeside away 2 kinsale. grattan v park will also be a v nice game.
Liverpool going for 19 - Blackstone going for 1!!! A tasty double there!!
Can I ask for help in completing my allegiance list - apologies if i insult anyone by not remembering:
Pacman
Jwal
Berba
Yoda
boshea
passandmove
bluey
Will it be 2 down from Prem A now? Jaysus, that sounds like a negative question on the eve of the season doesnt it? Its not, its curiousity. I would actually use the chance to maybe give the 2nd place teams in Div 1 a play-off or something. I just dont fancy one team from any division.
There is a theory that you need at least 10 points from your first 4 games to win a league. Comments?
Knockavilla play away to Crosshaven (MSL Senior 2nd) tomorrow, that will be a good guide to how they will do this season. Pat Downey is the new manager. He had a good record with Glencairn & Garryduff (MSL).Quote:

As for 10 points from your first 4 games, I dont think so. From what I hear in the premier a lot of teams have strengthened, so i reckon a lot of teams will taking points off each other. Now if some team do get 10 points from their first 4 games then they will be in a very strong position
we won 3 leagues on the trot,an we had as far as i remember we had 8,8 an 7 points after 4 games,so bang goes your theory horse.
Some very interestin games next week,lwt the fun begin
ten points from 12 would be agreat start for any team.
are the aul having a laugh or what? first two games of the season, thurs at 7 away to coachford then tues away to knockavilla whats that all about? city team havin to travel mid week????:mad: and if you look at the fixtures both us and coachford have no game on the sat wht not play then?
frustrations with the league start again
na from what i hear that crosshaven team are very weak, wanderers juniors beat them thursday 3-1Quote:
